Spider-Man 2 Players Roast Divisive Miles Suit

Summary

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 offers an array of great alternate costumes for Peter Parker and Miles Morales, but the Evolved Suit for Miles has been heavily criticized for its design, particularly the ill-fitting sneakers and exposed hair.
Despite the controversy surrounding the Evolved Suit, the game has received praise for other costumes, including fan-favorites like Tobey Maguire's Symbiote Suit and Andrew Garfield's comic-accurate ensemble.
Alongside the criticism of the Evolved Suit, fans have pointed out other issues in the game, such as the inclusion of the wrong flag in Miles' house and various bugs and glitches.

While Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 offers up plenty of great alternate costumes for Peter Parker and Miles Morales to wear while fighting crime, one of the latter’s suits is being derided as one of the worst in the franchise. Just like in Marvel’s Spider-Man and Spider-Man: Miles Morales before it, Spider-Man 2 players unlock a variety of outfits inspired by Spider-Man comics and movies by completing story missions and collecting Tech Parts. Players can also select alternate color schemes for certain costumes by unlocking their Suit Styles.

The suits themselves have also garnered much praise among Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 players, thanks to fan-favorites like Tobey Maguire’s webbed Symbiote Suit from Spider-Man 3 and Andrew Garfield’s more comic-accurate ensemble from The Amazing Spider-Man 2 finally being available for Peter after their absence from past games. Miles isn’t lacking in costume variety either, sporting stylish Spider-Man 2 outfits like the Black Panther-inspired Forever Suit and the Programmable Matter Suit from his last playable outing in Spider-Man: Miles Morales. However, one alternate Spider-Man 2 costume is sparking fan discussion for all the wrong reasons.

This costume is the Evolved Suit, which Miles can unlock towards the end of Spider-Man 2’s main story. Contrary to its name, many fans like Reddit user mastadonson feel that this suit is a step down for Spider-Man 2's young web-slinger, with many posts and comments deriding it for its supposedly ill-fitting Adidas sneakers and open mask that exposes Miles’s hair. Mastadonson has actually called the Evolved Suit “maybe the worst suit from the Spider-Man games,” while another user questioned its effectiveness in concealing Miles’s secret identity from anyone who knows him.

While Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 has quickly become one of developer Insomniac’s most acclaimed titles following its launch on the PS5 a few days ago, it hasn’t been without its share of controversy. Aside from Miles’s now-infamous Evolved Suit, fans have criticized Insomniac for mistakenly putting a Cuban flag in Miles’s house instead of the proper Puerto Rican one - an oversight that the developer has since promised to fix. Players have also reported many bugs and glitches, including one that turns Miles into a floating white cube.

Some Spider-Man 2 fans would argue that this look is still an improvement over the controversial Evolved Suit, which has drawn much criticism for its unusual design. Spider-Man 2 features a great deal of variety in its unlockable costumes, with even more on the way thanks to a post-launch collaboration of notable fashion and sports figures. With that many costumes to choose from, at least one of them was bound to be a misfire - and it seems that Miles’s Evolved Suit is just that outfit.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 releases on October 20, exclusively for PS5.
